VulcanRam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 It's ok, nice enough, a bit of a boring training kit. Much preferred last year's, with a proper collar. Perhaps instead of spending gazillions on making flashy videos of everything - do we really need "behind the scenes" which actually isn't behind the scenes at all - and pumping loads of emails counting down the days, they could have invested a bit more in creating something better. But then I'm over 40 so wouldn't buy it anyway. What I would buy is the £20 blue and yellow training top, which is lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 At least one of or both the away and third kits are always nicer, but then they have an open book to choose from. Can be pretty much any colour or design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can guarantee DCFC have their own marketing team which includes a social media manager, someone who creates the videos and graphics, and a CRM manager who looks after an automated emailing system. All that stuff you've pointed out is just a marketing team doing (part of) their job. We're talking a few thousand in annual salaries, were not exactly breaking the bank. The media team/strategy have come under some odd critisicm on here lately. I happen to think they're doing an excellent job. They've managed to adapt over the last few years in response to how (and what) content is consumed, and from over here it looks like a pretty modern and professional outfit.

Kernow Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Much, much nicer than last year's kit. The sponsor makes a world of difference. It wasn't the red of JustEat it was just the way it jumped off the shirt, it was the main attention of the kit. I suppose if you're a sponsor, that's what you want. If you're a fan, you don't. Nowhere near as nice as some of the designs on the forum. I'll never know how year upon year fans can design kits better than the expert designers who are probably paid a fair wedge.

TobyWanKenobi Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Nice kit. Glad we've changed the sponsor. Not because I didn't like it, but because the dunderheads complaining about it were starting to do my head in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCAR Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Love the Umbro detail on the shorts. It's a classy kit.... Just Eat has gone.... for me the best Umbro kit yet.... will also look better with league badge on the sleeve. Looking forward to the away kit now.

Mate,people would find something to moan about if God himself turned up,cured cancer and handed them a million quid in used notes plus an evenings free entertainment with the super model of their choice.

Jawa Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think the sponsor does definitely look better; I've heard people complaining simply because of the presence of red on the shirt which is just stupid in my mind, I just think it looks cleaner with the new sponsor than it did with Just Eat because there's nowhere near as much attention drawn to the sponsor. Probably my favourite kit that I've seen us have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazloW Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Not sure what I'm expecting from a new kit, but this is so very very dull. I thought we might get something a bit more bespoke, but its just a bog standard Umbro kit with an iron on logo. Nothing really makes it ours or makes it unusual; we can't even boast a funky colour scheme. Hate round necks too. Dull, dull, dull. Glad we have a decent sponsor again and haven't resorted to dodgy betting/finance website. Just Eat was fine in that respect too. Moot point in many ways as I rarely buy a new kit (not at those prices). Grumble grumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeedsCityRam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I like it. To be fair the standard was so low from last year's effort, that a white potato sack with splashes of black would have been an improvement but this is genuinely a nice kit. Hopefully get some diamonds on the sleeves next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, apologies, I was aware of all that and in hindsight it was a bit unnecessary. The point I was making, badly probably, is that they spent a lot of time building up to be something akin to the second coming when in reality it's a new shirt, and not a particularly interesting one at that. It wasn't the money I was having an insincere pop at, it was the hype. And just for the record, I think the media team do a great job. I should know, I work with them on stuff!

SouthernRam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Was expecting something a little more unique given the drawn out promotion. Maybe a reference to one of the blasts from the past rather than the stock template. Largely going down so well because we had such a hideous sponsor last year.

There was a big buildup to something that's not particularly groundbreaking. Guess there's not a lot else to focus on during the break though. The sooner the football starts the better, eh!

EnigmaRam Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder so for some this kit might be ground breaking or the best kit they've ever seen. Some people are just never happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Best shirt since The Puma in my opinion. Looks dead smart and an old British firm. As I biker I'm chuffed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I like it but I think for 48 quid you should be getting an embroidered badge, not a fan of this sticky on business, looks cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
